    Hi guys,

    When setting up my pedals, i use a wah, distortion, tuner and chorus

    These are all battery operated at the mo

    What i'm sucious to know is if i don't have an actual board to avoid using batteries do i have to plug each of these in individually with individual adaptors?

    cheers

    Probably alright with daisy chaining the pedals of one power supply too. Which pedals do you use, ie which models?

    Most pedals a 9Vdc with standard polarity and so a decent quality DC brick would do the job.

    Be careful though, some pedals operate at different voltages (MXR108 @18Vdc) or polarities (Muff).

    What pedals do you use?
    Also a DC supply is not something to scrimp on. Cheap power supplies make noise.

    X music sell them for about a 5er. I think they're made by GYC or something like that... Then you just need one plug which goes into the chain and there's 6 or so outputs for your pedals

    You only need the GYC chain and a regular 9v plug, or better yet you can get the Roland chain that goes into the other power hole in the top of your chromatic tuner. That's around 15e though

    yeah daisy chain is the cheapist way to go, get the boss 9v adapter a daisy chain and your good to go


    u can even get the other typ of daisy chain that plugs into the tuner too and power even more, i used this way for ages till i got a dc brick works fine
